× I would probably say, no, I don't, uh, often go to library.
✓ I would probably say, no, I don't, uh, often go to the library.
The noun 'library' is a specific place here, so it requires the definite article 'the'. Omitting 'the' before singular countable nouns when referring to a specific place is incorrect.
× I use, uh, usually, uh, uh, used to visit library just to complete my record works.
✓ I usually used to visit the library just to complete my record works.
The phrase 'used to' indicates past habitual action and should be in past tense. Also, 'use' is present tense and incorrect here. Additionally, 'library' needs the definite article 'the' as it refers to a specific place.
× Other than that, uh, other times I never used to visit library.
✓ Other than that, uh, other times I never used to visit the library.
Again, 'library' is a specific place and requires the definite article 'the' before it.
× I usually go to library only when I have, uh, some coursework to complete or research assignments to do umm, when I have a free period, uh, umm, in my undergraduate, uh, for instance, umm, uh, uh, when I have uh, uh, free period or when I don't have uh, any uh, work to do, I usually go to a library to complete my courseworks.
✓ I usually go to the library only when I have, uh, some coursework to complete or research assignments to do. Umm, when I have a free period, uh, umm, in my undergraduate, uh, for instance, umm, uh, uh, when I have uh, uh, free period or when I don't have uh, any uh, work to do, I usually go to the library to complete my coursework.
'Library' as a specific place requires the definite article 'the'. Also, 'courseworks' is uncountable and should be 'coursework'.
× When I was a kid, I never went to, uh, library, uh, because uh, my, uh, school never had a library.
✓ When I was a kid, I never went to, uh, the library, uh, because uh, my, uh, school never had a library.
'Library' as a specific place requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a particular library.
× For example, uh, if I had AI had only one library in my school that was only meant for umm, uh, the other uh, uh, ICSE, uh, syllabus, uh, students and uh, I could, I never got a chance to go there.
✓ For example, uh, if I had only one library in my school that was only meant for, umm, uh, the other, uh, uh, ICSE, uh, syllabus, uh, students and uh, I could, I never got a chance to go there.
The phrase 'if I had AI had' seems to be a speech error; corrected to 'if I had only one library'. No grammar problem type applies here beyond correcting the phrase for clarity.
× As per however, dear Steiner, students often spend their, umm, uh, time, uh, studying in the library because of the one of the world's toughest exam, Gawker.
✓ However, dear Steiner, students often spend their, umm, uh, time, uh, studying in the library because of one of the world's toughest exams, Gaokao.
The phrase 'the one of the world's toughest exam' is incorrect; 'one of the world's toughest exams' is correct. Also, 'Gawker' is likely a mispronunciation of 'Gaokao'. The definite article 'the' before 'one of' is unnecessary.
× Umm, they, uh, people, uh, umm, in uh, China pressure their kids to uh, study, uh, for uh, longer, uh, time, umm.
✓ Umm, people in China pressure their kids to study for longer periods of time, umm.
The original sentence has redundant pronouns 'they, uh, people' which is confusing. Simplifying to 'people in China' improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
